HHD

Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. The first pic of the day reminded me of “Wicked Game“, so there’s our song.
See what I mean?
Almost decided to make it a black and white theme today.
Someone who uses Axe who’s over 21.
Decided color was okay.
Especially the silver on this fox.
I usually like to see eyes and a smile, but this one…
And that will do for today. Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

I went and wandered a shopping mall with my wife yesterday. First time I’ve done that in years. You know they have stores that only sell caps? Nothing else but caps. Not a kiosk either. An actual fucking store with nothing in it but caps. How in the fuck can one make a living selling only one item? What a fucking country.

I get in the actual mall every 3 or 4 years in Bangor. We went to the Portland mall 3 years ago and that’s the only time I’ve been in there since I’ve lived in Maine. Pretty sure Portland has a baseball hat store. Could be wrong. I’ll confirm that for you sometime in the next 5 to 10 years.

I’m not going to bother applying for any nursing internships for next Summer. At my business I worked six days a week for fourteen years, no vacays. The thought of spending two months of what could be my last Summer off working in the hospital makes my stomach sink to my shoes.

I might apply for a job there toward the end of Summer, though. We’ll see.

Paula had the inside track for her job after working as a tech in her department for years. Hard to get that in just 2 months during an internship. Enjoy the summer and start meeting and greeting future bosses along the way.

Thanks, Jimbro! It has been an unnecessarily agonizing decision. Finally I asked myself last night, “If this is the obvious right thing to do, why am I stalling like crazy?”
I feel positively buoyant right now. I can’t fear *not* getting a job in the future because I didn’t do an internship. That’s just silly.

As fun as it is to make jokes about trailer parks, I’d argue that they often suffer the most damage from floods, tornadoes, etc, precisely because everyone does their research. Trailer parks tend to be built in areas where land is cheap, usually because anyone else knows the risks and can afford to build elsewhere. When you’re poor, you don’t have other options.

They may have money, but buying land anywhere else means you have to charge more to your tenants, which means fewer tenants.

The owners of these places … don’t get me started. They don’t pay property tax in the proper amount – etc. I was once informed in detail about it. Basically – you get a bunch of these in one town (like Lapeer) and you have a bunch of kids not supported properly by the tax base.

Too late, it’s in the oven as we speak. I rubbed it with red pepper paste and garlic powder and put some lemon chunks in the pot. This should be interesting.
House is gonna smell really nice when Scott gets home from work.http://is.gd/ZRg6Pd

How did your libertarian experiment of the drinking glasses work out??

I can’t last 3 hours on “kitchen strike.” I can’t STAND a dirty kitchen. I phoned in a friend (Pat) to deal with it. I was in too pissy of a mood. He bribed the children. The other kids were pissed that one got $$ to do it (but it was money we owed him anyway – lol).

Anything that reflects on the judgment and values of someone who is applying for the job of leading your country is fair game. Like, for instance, how many fucking times you voted present as a senator.

Oh Yeah Billy’s past behavior is on the table and it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out in this day and age of SJW’s and “rape culture” and Bill Cosby’s criminal charge….Trump is going to mitigate Bills ability to assist Hillary, by diminishing his popularity and at the same time paint her as a enabler.

I still havn’t decided bout Trump…. but he is playing the media like a fiddle and his campaign seems to be tactically strong

If someone can effectively educate the younger voters as to what a total cad bjc is and has been all his life, it takes away a major advantage she is prolly counting on I. The general, the help of a master politician and campaigner. If she has to hide him next sept and oct it’s gonna hurt her bad.

My evo-psych, utterly misogynistic speculation is that women as a herd tend to vote for the candidate they feel will best protect them, regardless of actual policy prescriptions, and secondarily for the person with the highest status*.

By that logic, Trump would get the majority of the female vote against Hillary. My gut says that Cruz would lose women but get a bigger slice of Hispanics.

*By the same token, I think men tend to vote for the guy they’d rather drink with or who’d be a better guy to have your back in a bar fight. Men won’t vote for Hillary at all, but they might vote for Bill again. If Bill’s radioactive and not campaigning, Hillary literally cannot win men, and thus cannot win.

Bills win in 1992 give Dems the White House after twelve years away. They were willing to go to the mat for him no matter what.

Younger women today have had seven years of an incompetent Dem administration. Being asked to continue to justify and make excuses may be a bridge too far. Especially since they’ve been fed a lot more BS about rape culture and sexual harassment.

I actually have the same issue with Cruz, Laura, until I hear him speak for a few minutes, then it usually fades. Can’t choose the face God gives you, I guess.

If Cruz looked like Warren Beatty in his prime he’d be walking away with this thing and Hillary would already have dropped out of the race (read: been told to step aside by her donors) for “health issues”.

You have a point, Leon. Intellectually I like Cruz’s political game and stated principles, yadda yadda, would vote for him.
In my gut, as a female, purely at a primitive level, I just don’t like his looks. It’s 100% a trust thing. He has a weasel face. Would not share a beer with this person. Would not share a cab either.
No it’s not fair, basic gut responses rarely are. Nor does it matter to what I will actually do in the voting booth.
But I’m a committed partisan, of course.

This is really interesting. I’ve been wondering about this for a few months, although I assumed I was just being a weirdo.

CONFIRMED: WE’RE ALL WEIRDOS.

However, I have the opposite opinion. I think he has a presidential looking face. His voice is what gets me.

I love his message and he’s quite brilliant, I just wish he sounded like Barry White.

Messicans don’t like Cruz or Rubio. There is a definite anti-Cuban vibe in the Latinx community. Trump actually has support in the legal Messican community. I’m not the only Messican that gets pissed off by illegals.

I started making the case to my Mexican friends five or six years ago that if ANYBODY ought to be against unrestricted immigration it ought to be the mexicans who are here already. They are the ones whose jobs are most at risk of being taken by hungry folks willing to work for less. The professional class isn’t going to be replaced by illegals.

I don’t deny that some people are born gay, but I do think that there are a number who look to it as a way of avoiding other issues in their lives. You see this a lot with the radical feminists, for whom lesbianism is a radical political act.

CoAl, I’ve seen it go sideways. Gays that have always been attracted to the same gender. People that were molested and not able to deal with the after affects. One of my friends still struggles with his sexual identity. Getting past the pleasurable aspects of being molested by the same sex as a child. Similar to the whole incest dealio and sexualization. Conflict.
